When Heather and I were on our weekly trip to Bass Pro Shop, we took the dogs outside for a break. I was rubbing Murphy's ear and found a lump and swelling of his ear. We both thought he probably got bit by something and some benedryl would help. It's not easy for me to get off work, so I thought it best to run him to emergency just to make sure.
Turns out he has a hematoma and will need surgery. The vet said it can be caused by shaking his head or maybe he crashed into something (could be while chasing the cat). I've never heard of this and am wondering if anybody else has had this happen? I looked it up on the computer and I read exactly what the vet told me. They're faxing everything to my vet and I'll need to call tomorrow to see what to do next.
